Business decisions are financial decisions but the narrative you will be fed will be personal. Open office plans, culture fits, promotions, etc. are disguised financial terms made by someone in business. Open office means they're trying to save money, culture fit means "how often will you listen to me" and promotion means "up or out" The quickest way to shut someone up or shut someone down, is to provide them with numbers and facts corroborate by 2+ other people.
